Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Norton
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Norton. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
